Question

Part A What is the acceleration during the pushing-off phase, in m/s2? A bush baby, an African primate, is capable of leaping vertically to the remarkable height of 2.3 m. To jump this high, the bush baby accelerates over a distance of 0.13 m while extending the legs. The acceleration during the jump is approximately constant. (Figure 1) Express your answer using two significant figures. = 160 m/s2 Correct MasteringPhysics: Homework.. https://session.masteringphysics.com/myct/item Part B Figure 1 of 1 Submitted Answers ANSWER 1: | |= 164 What is the acceleration during the pushing-off phase, in g's?

Explanation / Answer

As I see you have found acceleration as 160 m/s2.

The more exact value is however 163.585 m/s2.

Now, acceration in g's is acceleration in meter per second per second divided by acceleration due to gravity which in this case will be (163.585/9.8) i.e. 16.69 which will be your required answer.

If you get it right give a thumbs up.
